Healthy Mind – Healthy You

Dr Jane Wray (Nursing) and Dr Jo Bell (Psychological Health, Well Being and Social Work) have been awarded 20K by the Hull Clinical Commissioning Group to be the research partner for an innovative new five step education programme ‘Healthy Mind – Healthy You’. The project will work with young people, their families and schools to promote positive mental health, early intervention and reduce the stigma associated with mental health, particularly mental ill health.


Healthy Mind Healthy You is an interactive, participatory programme that is delivered by Hull Kingston Rovers mental health ambassadors and Paul Spence from P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery, and involves a Year group assembly, Classroom sessions, Activity sessions (Rugby League, Dance, Urban Arts), How to help my young person (for parents, teachers and guardians) and a Mentoring program. The project team will work with local schools and the ‘Healthy Mind – Healthy You’ delivery team to measure impact on the young people accessing the services and to ensure embedding of evaluation, monitoring and outcome data.
